Industry Expert & Luncheon
Working Better Together: An Open Conversation
Your spent BLUEPRINT 4D conference agenda is filled with learning about new Fusions Apps features, roadmaps, and technical session. This lunch is different. Step back from the tools and talk about the part that rarely makes it onto the agenda: how cross-functional teams actually work better together. Oracle experts, organization leaders, Finance, HR, and IT team-members are all now all sitting in the same room, speaking different languages, figuring it out as you go. In this informal, expert-led conversation, we’ll explore the collaboration and alignment challenges you’re navigating and discuss evidence-based approaches that actually move the needle. Come with questions, frustrations, or just an appetite for honest conversation. This is your brain break, a chance to exhale, connect with peers, and leave with something practical for the people side of the work

Unlocking Value with AI Agents in Fusion Applications
Join us for an engaging session designed for Oracle Fusion Applications customers at every stage of their AI journey.

Hear real-world examples of how organizations are using AI Agents to automate routine tasks, enhance decision-making, and improve operational efficiency. We’ll also cover key considerations for successful implementation, including governance, security, change management, and user adoption.
